CaRnage Information & Analysis FAQ
1. What does CIA stand for?
CIA is short for CaRnage Information & Analysis
2. Are you gonna use use this to snoop on me?
Nope. I play in CaRnage so I picked that name, and I wanted it to sound like the old KIA, so I made up something to be CIA
I do not store any information about you, your galaxy, alliance, IP address, or anything else you can think of, i really couldn't care
3. Why does this site look so much like the old KIA CT / Sandman's WotsIt?
The old one was removed by the creator and people wanted it back, so why not? (See
Credits)
4. Why does something on the site not work?
You tell me! I'm not an SQL guy, I'm not a PHP guy. I used ChatGPT to rebuild this entire thing, and I don't know or understand what half of it does yet
5. What if it breaks? Who do we contact?
If you want to help fix it, message me on TG. If you found something that doesn't work, message me on TG
6. How do you store the coordinates I set?
A cookie on your PC only. Nothing is stored in any database, trust me, I've no idea how to do that
7. Then what do you store?
I store and use the following information/mechanics:
-
The dumpfiles from Planetarion itself:
- http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/planet_listing.txt
- http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/galaxy_listing.txt
- http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/alliance_listing.txt
- ShipStats are dynamically collected from the XML file provided by Planetarion
- My own tables to process the dumpfiles into something useful
- Anonymous information about page hits (in other words, I count how many hits each page has, not who opened them)
